BIRDFONT-IMPORT(1)

🦋 BIRDFONT-IMPORT(1) 🦋

okay bestie, pull up a chair — this is the General Commands Manual entry for birdfont-import, and by the end of this page you're gonna be importing SVGs like it's nothing. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

birdfont-import — make a whole entire font out of SVG files 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

birdfont-import birdfont-file svg-files ...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: birdfont-import (yes it says birdfont-import birdfont-import in the original, she's a little extra, we love her 🫶) will generate a birdfont file from a set of SVG images. Glow up for your glyphs, fr fr. ✨

The command assumes that the file name denotes either a single character or a Unicode value on the form U+XX, where XX is the Unicode number in hexadecimal format. iykyk. 🧚

A drawing saved as a.svg will be added to the glyph a when you run:

birdfont-import typeface.bf a.svg

A drawing saved as U+62.svg will be added to b when you run:

birdfont-import typeface.bf U+62.svg

not me naming files wrong for an hour and wondering why my glyphs are empty 😭 name your files right, bestie, it's literally the whole system. 🙈

Also, go check out birdfont-export — that's the one for creating SVG, EOT and TTF fonts from the birdfont file. iconic duo tbh. 👑
